“…The latter affects various especially visceral organs, commonly as a secondary mycosis, in patients with considerably reduced immunological activity 12,6,8,9,18,19,[34][35][36][37][38][45][46][47] and others|. In these visceral phycomycoses, necroses and polymorphonuclear reactions with thrombangitis is usually elicited by the fungus, whereas subcutaneous phycomycosis causes predominantly an eosinophilic, lymph-and plasmacellular re action.…”

A histochemical study of phycomyces hyphae of a case of subcutaneous phycomycosis from India showed that the protoplast consists of PAS-positive polysaccharides and a small amount of RNA containing proteins. The cell wall is laminated and it is suggested that cellulose and hemicellulose compounds, as well as other polysaccharides but no proteins are present. Special attention was paid to the perihyphal substance. Adsorption of anti-human gamma globulin suggests the presence of host antibodies among the proteins present in precipitate. PAS-positive polysaccharides in this substance are probably products of the fungus. Thus, the perifungal substance of phycomyces may be considered as an immune precipitate, which is of a different nature to that of the capsular substance as produced by Cryptococcus neoformans and by spores of Rhinosporidium seeberi.

“…Im Gewebe wird auch von den Mucoraceen ausschliesslich ein Myzel gebildet, das sich aber von demjenigen der Aspergillen unterscheidet [28]: Die Fäden weisen fast keine Septen auf, unregelmässige, oft bedeutende Dicke und unregelmässige Verzweigung (Abb. 4).…”

When considering the indigenous deep-seated mycoses, candidiasis, cryptococcosis, aspergillosis and mucormycosis, as being ‘modern’, one should keep in mind that most of them were fully described a 100 and more years ago, just before bacterial (and subsequently, viral) infections were discovered. At that time the mycoses, being less frequent and by far less important, fell almost entirely into oblivion. In the course of the last 2 or 3 decades, they regained interest since many bacterial and even viral diseases were brought under control and there was a real increase in incidences owing to modern, mostly iatrogenic predispositions such as leukemia treated with cytostatics, immunosuppression, prolonged survival of severely burned patients, use of indwelling intravascular catheters, open-heart surgery and chemotherapy with antibacterial antibiotics. Nowadays, most of the mycoses in question are in fact secondary in nature but the same is true for an increasing number of bacterial and viral diseases, whereas the proportion of the ‘classical’, primary infectious diseases has become comparatively small in developed countries. The diagnosis of deep-seated mycosis must often be considered as an alternative to that of bacterial or viral disease, and therefore, medical mycology should be integrated into the routine of the institutes of medical microbiology.
